These are to be self-administered, based on perceived need by people who don't know diddly squat?

What we DON'T need is more antibiotics to use as a remedy for the common cold, which doesn't respond to antibiotics, anyway. Nor do we need more antibiotics so we become more resistant to them when we need them.

They appear to be a chain of drugstores, and it says only that they are filling 14 day prescriptions for free.Most antibiotics are pretty inexpensive, so it would make a good loss leader for them.Once you go to their store they expect you to buy more stuff.

If I had American style health care that pays for nothing I would likely consider this to be a good deal.But I am a Canadian and this stuff is dirt cheap to us.So cheap that we do not even think about using veterinarian antibiotics from the feed store.

The only thing you are missing is that it is probably their time of the month and they are all a bit cranky. They are likely still nursing their Xmas Season credit card hangovers, it is about the time they would see the bills coming in the mail.

If I needed a prescription for antibiotics filled and lived close to one of the Stop and Shop stores I would likely get it filled there.One drug store is pretty much like another one.
